Comment 14 Milan Crha 2024-02-29 07:51:11 UTC
Thanks for a bug report. The var_log_messages shows a runtime warning:

> g_object_ref: assertion '!object_already_finalized' failed

which can be related to the crash (I cannot say so for sure, but it looks like that at least).

The crash itself happens in the polkit code, which may or may not be also the place where the problem happened. By any chance, can you reproduce this reliably, please? If you can, what are the precise steps for it, please?

Comment 15 S.J. 2024-02-29 09:56:09 UTC
Right after logging in, I was using the store and the error occurred when the store window appeared for a split second and then disappeared as an inactive process.

Comment 16 S.J. 2024-02-29 10:00:30 UTC
I forgot to add that this happened before - around the last kernel 6.6.* (2 or 3 times), but surprisingly there was no error notification and there was no trace of this event in the error reporting system.

Comment 17 S.J. 2024-02-29 10:05:35 UTC
Unfortunately, I delete the logs from the /var/log directory automatically and regularly every day with a script found on some forum (in cron).

Comment 19 Milan Crha 2024-05-13 15:57:52 UTC
I tried to reproduce this, but no luck, unfortunately. I'd need some steps for a reproducer, but I'm afraid it's not that easy to do due to consequences with things happening under the hood.

This occured at boot time. Possibly durring gnome initialization.

I was executing a program in the appimage format, it was a graphical installer. Everything was fine until I tried mving my mouse, then Gnome immediately crashed to the login screen.

The more recent backtrace also mentions a thread with AppStream data parsing (and merging), which can be related to the bug #2272232.

Comment 29 David 2025-03-18 12:18:06 UTC
I had firefox and the open source Anki application open. It starts by weird coloured pixels appearing in seeminlgy random groups on the screen. Then the screen freezes, blanks out shortly after and then flashes at maximum brightness. Then GNOME crashes and puts me back at the login screen.
